Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix servers.

Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix DHCP servers.
The client has DHCP on Unix servers. There are no Windows DHCP servers in the environment. Do we need Windows DHCP server for PXE boot.

You can use any modern DHCP server in your environment.  DHCP is just used to help point the BIOS/Network Card to the right server, which in this case is your ConfigMgr Distribution Point with PXE Enabled.
It is strongly recommended to use IP Helper Addresses instead of the DHCP options though.
I hope that helps,

  • Does Satellite 2410-504 support USB boot?

    I own a very old Toshiba Satellite 2410-504, which came out and was bought in 2001/02.
    Am curious whether anyone knows it's possible to USB boot in this?
    I have USB key but can't boot from it.
    Maybe it doesn't support USB 2.0 etc.
    Am not sure.

    This is very old notebook model
    From my experience such old notebook series did not support booting from USB flash memory stick.
    Some of the series supported booting from USB FFD drive (its a drive which supported diskette. Maybe you can remember ;-) )
    However, Im quite sure the BIOS would not support the booting from USB flash memory stick

  • Screen resolution when PXE boot from WDS vs Install Windows 8.1 from USB

    Hi all
    I own a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, X230 Tablet, and now have my hands on a T440. All three machines have UEFI Secure Boot enabled properly, i.e. Windows boot screen shows Lenovo logo instead of Windows logo.
    However, if I do a PXE boot (using Windows Deployment Services from Windows Server 2012, not R2) and boot to the same boot.wim provided on a Windows 8.1 ISO image, the boot screen resolution turns crap, and the WinPE environment runs in 640x480. Also, as opposed
    to the Lenovo logo showing on the boot screen, the Windows logo shows up instead, indicating it's not doing a secure boot?
    When booting from a USB stick however, using the same Windows 8.1 boot.wim (copied from ISO), the screen resolution in Windows Setup is detected correctly, and the Lenovo logo shows up.
    This occurs on all three machines since MDT was upgraded to MDT 2013 or when I replaced Windows 8 boot.wim with Windows 8.1 boot.wim (as the Windows ADK 8 --> ADK 8.1).
    Is there a fix for this? Do others have the same problem elsewhere?
    Many thanks 

    Hi,
    When boot UEFI-based computer from PXE you should take more into consideration.
    For some computers, you might have to perform additional steps to make sure that Windows is installed in UEFI mode, and not in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.
    Some computers might support UEFI. However, they do not support a PXE-initiated boot when in UEFI mode.
    How to Create a PXE-Initiated Windows 8 Deployment for UEFI-Based or BIOS-Based Computers in Configuration Manager
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj938037.aspx
    Especially for “Pre-Deployment Considerations”
    If you still cannot find a way to make it boot from UEFI mode, you should contact with manufacture to confirm if PXE-initiated boot is supported.
    Hope this helps.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 PXE issue

    Hi,
    I have a SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 lab where pxe is not working, the clients are able to connect to SCCM server but the download gets stuck on the boot image & then it fails with the following error :-
    Don't find any specific error related to this deployment in SMSPXE.log.
    Thanks,
    Pranay.

    I've had some issues various places with NICs and the TFTP process.  One fix I implemented was to add the following registry entry:
    Location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSTFTP
    Name: MaximumBlockSize
    Type: (REG_DWORD)
    Value range: 512–1456
    Base: (Decimal)
    I set it to 1024, but you need to determine what value works for your environment.

  • Mobo Support for booting from USB hdd

    Hi,
    I have a K8N Diamond.
    How can I check whether my mobo can support booting from USB hdd?
    I know it can boot from the USB-CDROM.
    If not, do I need a bios update?

    Wow, thanks for the link and the pointer. I've found out where the USB hdd is now.
    I won't flash my bios for the sake of that thanks to you, but I'm upgrading to a Dual-Core soon and I realised my bios is w7100nms v1.0.

  • Does SCCM 2012 monitor SCCM 2007 as well?

    I have a SCOM environment and I have two SCCM environments - one is 2007 and the other is 2012R2. We are migrating from 2007 to 2012R2. I have both SCCM 2007 and 2012 MPs imported.
    One thing I've noticed is that all the objects from the 2007 MPs are labeled ConfigMgr 2007, while the objects from the 2012 MPs are just labeled ConfigMgr. And when I create a subscription to send all alerts on ConfigMgr (I filtered to only show objects
    in Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.Library MP) it will send out notifications for all SCCM alerts. 
    So does the 2012 MP monitor 2007 as well? And if so, how can I create a subscription to only notify for 2012? I currently set up the subscription directly against the 2012 servers, but I'd like to have it go against the application instead.
    Thanks.
    - Get on the floor, do that dinosaur

    Yes, we have Exchange. But it doesn't make sense that a subscription criteria set to the ConfigMgr application would send alerts regrading Exchange. Maybe because the SCCM client is installed on those servers...?
    False alerts as in SCOM thinks one thing but its not actually the case. For example, thinking that an Exchange server is a SCCM server. And Alerting on SCCM 2007 instead of 2012.

  • Does SCCM 2007 R3 support SQL 2014 if not is there any mitigation plan for this

    Hi ,
    As part of Database migration to SQL 2014, wanted to check whether SCCM 2007 R3 support SQL 2014 or not.
    I have a link for SCCM 2012 which tells it does support to SCCM 2012, but in upgrade mode.
    Is there any other approch instead of upgrade on SCCM 2012. 
    Please let us know.

    I doubt CM07 will support SQL 2014, particularly when mainstream support has ended already.

  • Does SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary and DP servers really need backup?

       Hello to all. I'm involved on a SCCM 2012 R2 project that will install aprox. 20 SCCM 2012 R2 servers: 1 CAS, 3 Primary, 8 Secondary and 8 DPs (just SCCM runs on all these servers). As backup is licensed by Tb and cost is a restriction, I think
    that would be acceptable to backup just CAS and 3 Primary servers. If a failure happens in any Secondary or DP, they could be reinstalled and all necessary information would be replicated from the respective Primary or Secondary.
       Questions:
        1- Is it technically feasible?
        2- If I want to run specific configuration for a site that its Secondary failed, could I run it from the respective Primary?
        3- Does #2 applie to DP (if a DP fails, could I run the necessary configs./action from its respective Secondary or Primary)
        Please feel free to input pros and cons so I can take the best decision.
        Regards, EEOC.

    " 2- If I want to run specific configuration for a site that its Secondary failed, could I run it from the
    respective Primary?"
    Just a comment regarding this design decision.  Based on this sentence, it almost sounds like someone thinks you
    can manage FROM a secondary.  That simply doesn't happen.
    I wonder... Did the person who came up with your cm12 design ever actually work with cm12 in a hierarchy (for more than
    a few weeks), because based on your statements, assumptions appear to be made that cm12 hierarchy works exactly like cm07 ( or SMS 2.0 for that matter, since you couldn't manage from a secondary in cm07 nor SMS 2003 either).  Having a cas and multiple
    primaries will not provide the redundancy of "if one primary goes down then..." As it sounds like is being assumed is true.  I think its tons riskier to have multiple primaries and a cas.
    Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

  • SCCM 2012 root domain client management from child domain

    Hi All,
    We have SCCM 2012 environment in Child domain and we would like to manage the root domain clients as well. we are using https mode. What all configuration do we need to make for root domain clients to monitor successfully from child domain.  
    Is it mandatory to create System Management container for the Root domain? if yes what all permission i need to give for that System Management container. 
    Do we need to enable Active directory forest discovery?
    Regards,
    Bhaskar K

    No, you do not need to create the System Management container or publish info into it and no you do not need to enable forest discovery.
    ConfigMgr ultimately does not care about AD. AD can be used by clients to help them locate services and configure themselves, but this can also be accomplished in other ways in ConfigMgr.

  • 27" (Late 2012) iMac won't boot from any external drives.

    I just got my 27" iMac (late 2012) with Fusion Drive. I can't get it to boot off any my external LaCie drive. I just get an "Ø" symbol. tried this so far:
    Ensured the OS on my external drive is 10.8.2 - didn't help.
    Updated (reinstalled) Mountain Lion on the external drive, using the Recovery HD that comes with the iMac, just in case it's a "special verision". - didn't help.
    Connected via Thunderbolt-to-FireWire 800 adaptor - didn't help.
    Connected via USB2 port on HDD to USB3 port on iMac - didn't help.
    Used "Startup Disk" system prefs - didn't help.
    Used "hold doen ALT key" after startup chime. Can see the drive but - didn't help.
    So - has anyone had any luck booting a new iMac off an external device at all?
    I might try a Carbon Copy Clone of the Fusion Drive - but I'm thinking it's a waste of time - instinct tells me it's a Firmware limitationin the machine that prevents booting from externals.

    trying a clone after all due to this discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/20938457#20938457

  • Late 2012 Mini won't boot from ext HDD with 10.8

    Having just replaced an early 2009 Mini with a later 2012 mini, I tried booting off an external HDD that is a backup with Mountain Lion 10.8 as the OS.  I selected it to be the boot drive after holding down the option key, but the boot process never went beyond the white screen/Apple logo, even after waiting for minutes.
    The external drive is in a Newer 3.5" enclosure with a FW800 port connected to the Mini via a FW800 cable.  After booting from the internal drive I can view and change items in the 10.8 external drive.  This drive previously booted fine from my old Mini.
    [Note:  This is not related to my earlier "Snow Leo won't boot" question.]
    Thanks

    The problem is the version on the external drive, if created
    on the old Mini (infered from ""This drive previously booted
    fine from my old Mini.")   won't boot on the new Mini because
    it lacks drivers that are not available on the general Mountain Lion
    updates.  Since the new Mini came out after 10.8.2, only the
    version on it contains the proper drivers.  Also, if the version
    on the external drive is earlier than 10.8.2, it will never boot
    as no Mac can boot to an OS older than it was shipped with.
    Whenever 10.8.3 comes out, it will likely sync all current models again.

    Hi Pazza,
    As Torsten said,  please ensure that you have an x86 and x64 boot image configured and deployed, regardless of the architecture of the OS that
    you wish to deploy. Secondly, ensure that the boot images for both architectures have the network drivers for the respective model that you are imaging injected.
    Otherwise, please review the link below:
